Program Purpose (French)
Le Service de police d’Ottawa élargira la portée du programme MERIT, un projet de prévention entre plusieurs organismes axé sur le développement communautaire, l’éducation, la prévention et l’atténuation des risques grâce à une intervention précoce et aux efforts de réinsertion, ainsi que l’exécution de la loi. Cette expansion permettra d’ajouter la lutte contre la radicalisation menant à la violence au travail de prévention effectué à Ottawa et d’appliquer MERIT sur une plus grande échelle dans la ville. Les fonds serviront à évaluer les besoins locaux, à former les agents et les intervenants de première ligne et à faire connaître le programme par l’intermédiaire de campagnes de relations publiques.
